Internet-of-things-associated electronic device and control method therefor, and computer-readable recording medium

Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The present electronic device comprises: a communication unit; a memory for storing at least one command; and a processor for, by executing the at least one command, controlling the communication unit to transmit a control command for controlling an IoT device, and controlling the communication unit to acquire log information relating to a received response in relation to the control command and the transmission of the control command and transmit the acquired log information to an external device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a U.S. National Stage Application which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Patent Application No. PCT / KR2018 / 015519 filed on Dec. 7, 2018, which claims foreign priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0005084 filed on Jan. 15, 2018 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the contents of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND ARTTechnical Field[0002]The disclosure relates to an electronic device and a control method therefor, and a computer-readable recording medium, and more particularly, to an electronic device that is capable of identifying the cause of an operation error of an Internet of Things (IoT) device and a control method therefor, and a computer-readable recording medium.Description of the Related Art[0003]With the recent development of semiconductor technologies and wireless communication technologies, communication fun...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This solution enables precise identification of error causes, reducing user confusion and facilitating faster error resolution, while also clarifying legal responsibility by determining the faulty device and providing methods for error correction.

Problems solved by technology

However, in controlling devices connected through a network, in case devices malfunctioned, at the device that input a control command, only the problem of the device could be identified, and the problem that occurred in the device that was the subject of control could not be identified.

Accordingly, in case a device malfunctioned, the cause of the error could not be identified correctly, and this caused confusion for users and the service center.

In particular, in case the device that was the subject of control was the device of another company, the service center of the device that input a control command could not solve the error, and accordingly, there was inconvenience for a user of having to contact several service centers.

Also, in case a damage occurred to a user due to a malfunction of an IoT device, there was a problem that the subject of legal responsibility was not clear.
